Confirmed: TVR to unveil new supercar at Goodwood

TVR has announced that it will reveal its first new model in years at the Goodwood Revival race meeting in September.

The reborn British sports car specialist promises to take on some of the world's fastest cars with a new model designed in part by McLaren F1 creator Gordon Murray.

TVR says the new model is powered by a 5.0-litre V8 with enough power to hit 100km/h in less than four seconds before reaching a top speed in excess of 320km/h. The machine's construction will feature a mix of aluminium and carbon fibre, helping to keep its weight to 1200 kilograms - well less than the latest Porsche Cayman S.

While it won't be offered in Australia initially, the first batch of 500 cars will be priced at less than £90,000 ($155,000), putting it on a similar plane to Porsche's 911 Carrera S.

Having floundered under the ownership of Russian entrepreneur Nikolay Smolensky since 2004, TVR is looking to return to glory days that saw giant-killing models such as the Griffith, Cebrera and Tuscan with support from sports car enthusiasts.

TVR is set to return with a new supercar in 2017.TVR is set to return with a new supercar in 2017.
